Haunted Circus | Return of the GhostTracers

Event Details
Date: Saturday, October 24th, 2026
Tour Times: 6:00 PM | 7:00 PM | 8:00 PM | 9:00 PM | 10:00 PM
Location: Railroaders Memorial Museum (1200 9th Ave, Altoona, PA 16602)

Step right up... if you dare.

The haunted season is upon us! It’s been one year since the GhostTracers tryouts of 2025. Last year's event was hosted by Adam and Todd Lafferty, but due to unforeseen events, our fearless leader Adam was taken by the ghost clowns of the Walter L. Main Circus! Nobody has seen him since, so we have to rebuild the team.

We are down a member, so we are opening up tryouts again for 2026! Only one of you will be selected, so come prepared to solve the mystery. The area's number one paranormal investigation team, the GhostTracers, has been called back into action to take down the Ghost of the Museum. He has been causing havoc and terrifying guests—and it’s up to us and YOU to put an end to the paranormal activity!

The ghost has disrupted the power throughout the building, so there are no working lights. Prepare for tryouts in pitch darkness with only our lanterns to guide us! Throughout the tour, expect encounters with both friendly and terrifying spirits who are stuck in limbo. Some of these ghosts may want to share their stories of how they ended up as spirits—make sure you listen, as you will need all the help you can get to survive the night! Be prepared for the unexpected, as some spirits love to jump scare you.

Will you make it through the night? Put the clues together with your team, figure out how to send the ghost back where he came from, and earn a spot on the area's premier paranormal team—the best this side of 17th Street, the GhostTracers!

Age Limit: Must be 12+ to attend
